After listening to him many times in concert, I can say that he's absolutely not a "transcription-pianist" or anything. He's probably the most musical pianist i've ever heard and the way he understands the whole meaning of a piece is just unbelievebable. Everything he plays looks like Truth. He belongs to those rare pianists (Hamelin, Gavrilov, Richter) who have such a huge technique that their only task in concert is delivering the mystery of art.

@maestro7PL

"And yes, he changes the composer's music at will."

Has nothing to do with the quality, and if you think otherwise you've already failed. :p

"It's prohibited invent the notes."

Prohibited not have clue of language you tolk in! Go lurn dicshonary, than cum bak complaynieng!

@adrypiano Absolutely agree on Volodos - technique aproaching Richter, but IMO it would be preferable to have him hold back on his "insight" into Liszt and many other works :-) Richter became an "artist" later in his career. At that "top" level the true musicians and artists are Rach, Gilels, Horowitz, Moiseiwitch, Weissenberg, Argerich :-))

Don't know how anyone can say Hamelin is an "artist". Gavrilov is my favorite soviet-era pianist after Askhenazy :-))

OMG AMAZING.

[Darrning]

Simply; SHAMELESS! It's prohibited invent the notes. Now Volodos knows more of Liszt! Really presumptuous. Buffoon of shit.

@skryabyn To change this is an authentic Lisztian approach: Liszt did it all the time and I've little doubt that he'd approve of this.  Sadly, we live in an error where pianists are expected to treat the text like fanatical American protestants treat the bible. The great composers themselves were never that rigid!

@maestro7PL I would really hear Your version
